Claws/Regen - first and only lvl 50 so far
Spines/Fire - currently lvling this one

So you bought those IO's at level 30, and from then on you just stuck with them and it worked great? That sounds brilliant.

It's not just jokes about race and belief that are a bit below the belt. I saw a hero the other day named "Stupid Emo Boy" and although I'm not an Emo myself, others found it offensive, which is very understandable.

Why? He might have been a very stupid boy who was also an emo?

I don't tend to offend easily and quite welcome people to make jokes at my expense as long as they're able to take a joke themselves. However on areas of great importance (as already stated people's beliefs are very important to some and not for mocking!) I tend to censor myself until a joke has been made and received warmly...then I never stop.

He/she was being an idiot about the fact that people were complaining, and he had a pretty offensive battle cry.

Chuck Norris is so strong, he could take out Statesman in one punch, because Statesman is a d***!

See what I did there? I combined a Chuck Norris joke with a Statesman joke! I'm soo cool!!! WOOP!

The_rent, how much do you think it'd cost roughly to buy all the IO's needed for that build?

Especially if you do that with your fingers on the keyboard all the time you're in the team.. You'd be very unpredictable if you did (Talking about your Steve Cougan thing incase you were wondering. I'd understand if it took you a little while to get it. It is Sunday after all.. Hehe)

I try to make any team I'm in a bit light hearted. I feel things flow smoother if everyone is having a bit of a laugh and not so worried about everyone in the team doing everything perfectly. I guess I'm kind of the middle ground between someone who takes things seriously and someone who is just in it for a laugh.

Energy/Energy Lvl39: My first CoH character and the only Blaster I've ever made. I gave up on him for a long while, but am now pushing him to Lvl50 as I think I owe him that much lol.

Thanks for you response. I'm really after a full build guild if there's one available at all.

I joined a CoH group on Facebook a while back. Not sure which one it was though. There weren't that many fans in the group when I joined.

What I had on my toon a while back (and still do, but with IO's replacing SO's) is 3xDamage and 2xAccuracy in each attack power. In build up I have 1xTo Hit Buff and 1xRecharge Reduction. Aim, Conserve Power and Power Boost both have 1xRecharge Reduction. I went for the flight travel pool. Hover has 2xDef Buffs and 1xEndurance Reduction (I use Hover a lot when soloing missions), and Fly has 1xFlight Speed and 1x Endurance Reduction. Got swift with 1xRunning Speed, Health 3xHealing, and Stamina 3x Endurance Modification. Also got Stealth with 3xDefense Buffs and 1xEndurance Reduction (Used along with Hover when I'm soloing), and Invisibility with 1xDefense Buff and 2xEndurance Reduction. How does that sound? What Epic powers should I go with? I'd also like advice on a level 50 build with all the expensive IO sets in for when the time comes. Would that be possible? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the advice you've given so far. Now to answer your questions..

I'm after a nice power dealing ranged blaster so I'm not too bothered about the melee style powers (Power Thrust and Total Focus), although they would come in handy once in a while. I'm interested in seeing IO slotting, but SO's would be handy as well because I don't have the cash to shell out on the really expensive IO's just yet.

I've had an Energy/Energy Blaster for a very long time now, but stopped playing as him at lvl 39. I have decided to blow the dust off his costume and get him out again to fight crime. The only problem is that his power choices and enhancement slotting are very out of date. I was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to help me out with an up to date Energy/Energy Blaster level by level guide, with power selections and slotting for each level? I'd be so very appreciative if one of you would do that for me.

Download is a Rock festival. This year there's a brilliant line up including Iron Maiden, Velvet Revolver, Buckcherry, Korn, Motley Crue, Marilyn Manson, Papa Roach, Megadeath, Machine Head, Slayer, and a hell of a lot more great bands! I can't wait!!!

I'm not too bad. Also busy with my job, but finding the time to play CoH again and go out with friends. It's all good. I'm going to Download Festival next month! WOO HOO!!!

Lol, he's good at that. He's had 21 months experience.

I'm @Energiser if any of you are interested in catching up.

Luc and Marinemage, I remember you both. How you been? Life treating you good? It's been a very very long while since I talked to you all!

It's good to hear from you. If I see you in-game I'll send you a tell. I've been talking to Drizzler for the past 4 or 5 hours. He still hangs around in Atlas City Hall all night long, doing nothing as per usual lol.

Who out of the former E.L.I.T.E. inc. sg members still plays CoX? I'm Disturbed and Energiser by the way. It'd be cool to chat with some of you again and catch up.
